Programming utilities for Unix-like systems in Python (2017)

Python is a modern, general-purpose programming language. Despite that, it is still often recognized as a scripting language. But how does it actually perform as such?

When and why should you use Python instead of Bash?

How to properly handle program's input and output?

How to access filesystem and other resources? How to distribute your command-line tools among users?

I am going to answer these questions, teach you how to write reliable utilities that follow the Unix philosophy, and share my experience in developing Python software.
